Doesn't really pertain to Forwardlook, but I worked on my other project car a little.

Specifically its a 1972 Lotus Europa with a Renault crossflow 807-13 engine (1565cc 4 banger).  Yes, its a HEMI!

Worked on some conversion stuff to remove the obsolete Bosch D-Jetronic on the engine and install a more modern digital system that I can tune.

So adaptor work for new TPS, plugging some holes not needed in the intake plenum, adaptor for a MAP sensor mounted on the plenum, and some other stuff.

Basically quite a day in a buddy's machine shop working on his lathe and mill.  Had a relaxing day, overall, and got some items completed, and a couple of others started.

This evening will start charting the new wiring harness to fab up (colors,wire lengths, termination points, etc) from notes as to where all the new sensors and actuators will be.

Location: Nashville, TN		The only family I have here in Nashville are the Mopar girls, Elvira (Imperial), Jasmine (DeSoto), Sara (Saratoga), and Christina (Dodge). We sat around in the backyard, played with their fenders and had a beer. Old blue (the 69 Dodge) is still under cover.

Location: Parts Unknown		I envy those who had dad's worthy of celebration. My old man was very close with his Dad,
but had a serious disconnect with his own kids. None of us got too torn up when he passed.
My daughter might call if I were home, and the step kids .... well, I'd prefer they not make
contact until they get their lives out of the gutter.

Happy Father's Day.

fenix - no calls, no visits, and therefore a good day - kind of funny and I get it.

Just before FD went to the Auburn - Cord - Doozy museum......awesome, awesome, awesome.

Twas kinda FD gift to myself! And got the old man something too.

No complaints. I don't expect my twins to appreciate me until they are at least 30!

Location: Heaven Above (Formerly Oklahoma City,OK)		Buptkis = nothing worth talking about! ! !
Also equates to 'zip', nada, zero, etcetera. . . . . . . . . .

BUT! ! ! In some situations it may be synonym for SH!T! ! ! !

If any other questions, I'll defer to Doc for appropriate response!

Location: Parts Unknown		Is it just me, or do others find the best (only) holidays worth "celebrating" are the ones where
you get to just go do whatever you want ? Go fishing, hunting, long road trip, etc. ?

Never could get my head around bad weather holidays where the house is full of people and
stuffy air and all you do is watch TV or watch the paint age, ... Thanksgiving, Easter, New Year ....

I have an idea. Let's can all those October to May holidays and just give me 4 day weekends
from June to September !!!

Location: Arizona		My family has an agreement that we don't give birthday gifts once you are "of age". Saves everyone a lot of headaches. No Xmas gifts either accept for IMMEDIATE family. Stopped sending out xmas cards years ago. For the big holidays we often just hit a buffet and save the trouble of all the home cooking and attendant issues.
